## Resource

The Public Investment Corporation is in crisis as its board lacks a quorum, paralyzed by resignations just before a critical meeting. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is urgently seeking a new chair—likely from within government, with Deputy Finance Minister Ashor Sarupen among the names—while lawmakers push for sweeping reforms to remove political influence and establish an independent board. Experts warn this leadership vacuum threatens the future of South Africa’s retirement savings, reigniting calls for structural overhaul and stronger oversight to ensure the PIC’s $300 billion portfolio is managed wisely and independently.
